CYDONIA (Chaenomeles) 
One of the first shrubs to bloom in spring. Their brilliant flowers and 
shiny foliage place them among the No. 1 plants for the spring garden. 
They may be allowed to grow into specimen plants or trimmed into hedges. 
Ultimate height about 5 to 6 feet. We offer here.a collection of new hybrids 
not yet known in this country. These varieties are outstanding. The size 
of their blooms as well as the quantity in which they are produced is almost 
unbelievable. 
Aurea Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
Many shrubs flower in May and June, but few can surpass the beauty of 
this lovely dwarf Quince. It is completely covered with rose suffused 
salmon-tinted yellow flowers from March to May. It is particularly fine 
for dwarf hedges in its natural form, or it can be clipped if a formal 
hedge is desired. Growing less than 3 feet high, it is no problem to keep 
it in form. It makes a perfect picture in front of taller shrubs and looks 
well in the flower border along with Tulips and other spring flowers.

The semi-double flowers are rose-pink and produced in abundant quan- 
tities early in spring. A very attractive early flowering double Quince 
only found in a few choice gardens. 
Nivalis Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00 
This is the best pure white Quince. The sparkling white flowers contrast 
well with the dark green foliage. A very handsome flower for cutting 
as well as a fine early flowering shrub for the border. 
New Hybrid Cydonias 
The beautiful hybrid Cydonias offered under this heading are great im- 
provements and, as soon as they become more plentiful and better known, 
will be universally grown. Our stock is decidedly limited. We, therefore, 
urge you to send for yours at once and be one of the first to have them 
in your own garden.

ideal variety for planting in front of the shrub border or foundation

tion, it’s almost thornless. A beautiful shrub to grow with white Tulips.

NEW UPRIGHT CYDONIA, SPITFIRE 
(Plant Patent No. 830) 
Perfect for Hedges and Single Specimens 
Here is a fine, early flowering shrub with excellent habit. It 
grows upright to a height of about 6 to 7 feet when mature. It may 
be held down to 4 or 5 feet if you wish by simply topping it once or 
at the most twice a year; side pruning is not necessary. The flowers 
are large and deepest crimson-red. The upright stems are covered 
with them from the ground up. You can well imagine what a bril- 
liant effect is made when Spitfire Cydonia is used for a hedge. The 
plants are not more than 2 feet across when mature so that it is an 
excellent subject to use as a single specimen as well as in shrub 
plantings where space is limited. No flower buds have ever been 
killed nor has there been any damage from frost to the wood in 
temperatures as low as 15 degrees below zero. We have had this 
plant under test for ten years and think it is a fine addition to 
flowering shrubs that may be successfully used for hedging as well 
as specimen planting. We offer plants about 3 feet tall, ready to 
bloom. 
CERCIS 
Chinensis Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $32.00 
This charming, brilliant spring-flowering shrub is a Chinese counterpart 
of the American native Redbud. It flowers at the same time, but the 
quantity and quality of its flowers far surpass those of our common wild 
form. It is shrublike in growth, and when in bloom, every branch and 
twig is covered with thousands of bright purple blossoms almost double 
the size of the common variety and noticeably darker. You will want 
this in your garden surely. Ultimate height from 6 to 8 feet. 
CORYLUS 
Maxima atropurpurea (Purple-Leaved Filbert) 
Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00

Purple Leaved Filbert. It is a much branched shrub covered from top 
to bottom with fine, bronze leaves which make a pleasant break in the 
monotony of the green leaves in the shrubbery border. The richest and 
deepest colors are obtained when it is grown in full sun. It grows well 
in shade but it then loses part of its coloring. Maximum height about 
10 feet. Can be kept any height up to 5 feet with pruning. Hardy 
anywhere! A fine plant for the lawn as a single specimen. Superb foli- 
age for cutting and use with flowers. 
COTONEASTER - The Queen of Shrubs 
All the species of Cotoneaster will thrive either in shade or full sun, and 
are very suitable for growing under trees, “clothing’’ north or other walls, 
and for covering wet, dry or shady banks, etc. 
The outstanding characteristics of this genus are the beautiful, conspicu- 
ous clusters of berries, ranging in color from brilliant orange-scarlet, through 
varying shades of red to black, all preceded by the profusion of white or 
pinky white flowers wreathing the branchlets, and also in ‘many species the 
rich autumnal coloring of their foliage. For hedges they are becoming more 
and more popular, Multiflora being especially well adapted for that Purpose.

from China, to which country they are native.
